I usually strongly on the side of the unions in these situations, but "No automation at all, ever. We want guarantees that our jobs will always exist exactly as they are" is not a particularly sympathetic asking point. And having the Union Chief sitting there in his gold chains sounding like a guy in a bad mafia movie talking about shutting down the entire country is less than endearing.17 points

So, time for my annual playoff rant (though I mean it less this year than most years b/c the Astros team hasn't played as well this year as it has in years past). I love baseball b/c it's like the sound track of the year for me. There is a game every single day (more or less) for 6 months. You can always count on it. It's always there for you. It's not appointment viewing, but you know it's always an option. I'm not pissed off if I miss a game, the way I am with a college football Saturday if I miss, because those are so rate. The ubiquity is it's specialness, not the rarity. It's comforting. Because of that, baseball is a war of attrition. You just don't see a ton of flukes in the game. You assemble your squad, hope you stay more or less healthy, know you won't be perfect or even good every day, but you know that with 162 (or 161 for us this year) opportunities, for the most part, water will find it's level. Are there bad breaks that happen in any particular game? Sure. That swing the outcome? You bet. But with 162 that more or less levels out, and we know who the best team is. But, after a marathon of 162 games where team strength is tested, organizational acumen is tested, willpower, the ability to get up day after day and put one foot in front of the other and trudge about at a difficult job all comes into play, the calendar turns to October and it's a different sport. Instead of a marathon we are in a sprint. Instead of one bad game eliciting a shoulder shrug it all matters. More than everything else that's come before it. And in the sport that is the fairest (major American division) in grinding out an aggregate winner over the course of 6 months it becomes the least fair sport in determining any particular one game winner. Most good football teams will beat bad football teams, over and over and over. You can pretty much tell which NBA teams are going to the playoffs after about 15 games (look at the schedules and be amazed at how little they change from Christmas time to the end of the year), and it's almost always the case that the better team wins a best 4 out of 7. But baseball? you can have historically terrible teams like the Tigers win series against the Yankees or Astros and nobody bats an eye or notices. Why? Because that's just baseball. So, here we sit on the precipice of another run and your local 9 is facing a team that they are just flat better than. But, they have the best pitcher in the game (maybe 2nd best after the LSU kid in Pittsburg whose name I won't spell right) and any one day the starting pitcher exerts more control than any other position in any other sport (even QB in football) on the mound today. Ours? He's merely going to finish like 3rd or 5th in the CY Young. Our biggest of big bats, the guy who can single handedly swing entire playoff series by throwing a team on his back is hurt- and questionable to play in this series. Tomorrow and Thursday we have the pitching advantage, but bad days are always possible and some brilliance from Skubal today and one bad day for the Astros can end this whole run after 2 or 3 games. It's basically at the point in time where anything is possible and randomness starts to overwhelm the system. This Astros squad though- we are going on a decade now of not being done in by randomness. I think it's still the case that in every Astros playoff year since 2015 we've either lost to the WS Champs or been the world series champs (KC, HOU, BOS, WAS, ATL, HOU, TX) yes- there's nothing in there about 2020 b/c that wasn't a real thing and the fact that it's the only year the Dodgers ever won it is glorious and sort of proves that. 7 ALCS in a row. Randomness never gets us (at least early- fuck we were so much better than WAS in 2019) and we just keep grinding away playoff W's year after year after year. Some day, the script will have to change. We will come up short and those that haven't followed the game for a long time will be stunned to see the Astros not get it done. Those of us who follow the game our whole lives will know, that's just baseball. Unfortunately, and what's cruel about playoff baseball is instead of saying- oh well- lets get them tomorrow, there is no more tomorrow for 6 months. The longest and most cruel 6 months of the year. The half a year that sucks b/c there isn't a baseball game on every night. Now- when you win playoff baseball games? Pure nirvana. But, it's such a mess and jangle of nerves I almost can't take it. Excuse me while I go throw up the meager breakfast I was able to choke down. Playoff baseball is here and I will be a neurotic mess for somewhere between 2 and 33 days. Good luck out there.16 points

Speaking of war crimes The Russian military executed 16 (!!!) surrendered Ukrainian soldiers at sight. This is the worst incident of POW execution known so far in this war. It happened near Pokrovsk. Look at what the Russians did - they lined the surrendered Ukrainians up, shot them all down, and then finished off those dying on the ground. When some sneaky character says 'Ukrainians just need to surrender," -- this is the answer regarding what will happen if Ukraine "just surrenders" to Russia, which is absolutely out of its damn mind and sick with absolute sadism.14 points

after a decade spent basically dominating the league, the only part of the argument i agree with is even the 'bad' teams run out offensive and defensive linemen that don't exist anywhere else in america, which i do think makes for more of a grind when looked at in aggregate. this doesn't necessarily make mississippi state or south carolina Good Football Teams, but it does mean there are some early round defensive tackles and offensive guards beating the shit out of you with hammers that simply don't exist most places. obviously a&m has taken this time to adjust our talent accordingly.14 points

The Jimbo $ already cost them Schlossnagle. Sharp got Trev Alberts to be a penny piching AD, which he has been. Firing people like the baseball analytics guy without telling Schloss and indefinitely postponing the stadium renovation is what pushed him out. But of course those nitwits choose to go nuts because of mean ole tu, no self awareness.14 points

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/ukraine-seim-river-poisoning-chernihiv-ecocide- The Russians dumped pollutants into the Seym River just upstream of the Ukrainian border. It dropped the dissolved oxygen levels in the river, and the Desna River which it flows into, killing off most living things in the water.14 points

we don't need anecdotes or names. we need walz to say out loud, "no, a 9+ month abortion is not a real thing, it's a lie, it's bullshit right-wing fan-fiction, and trump is full of shit for bringing it up, zero people support these procedures, zero bills allow post-birth abortions. it's made up." if they can call walz on some shit that happened or didn't happen 35 years ago, they can call out trump for shit he said last week.13 points

But what if you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there? But now the battery is on fire? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. But now what about fire or the shark?11 points
